Shelby Power

I just read about the Shelby 1000 S/C. With the power at 950 bhp and 1100 bhp respectively and a curb weight of only 3800 lbs., why are the 0-60 numbers estimated my MT at 4.0 and not like 2.7? Seems relatively slow for $200k and all that beautiful American muscle!! Please advise..........

Because Shelby American decided to build their 1,000hp car on stock sized 295 rears. They technically have a wide body now too that can fit around 345s, so I'm wondering if that will begin to be used on the 1000.

I believe 295 is the absolute widest you can go without the tires poking out from under the fenders, and even then it's tight. It's one of the biggest flaws with this platform, and they BETTER fix it for '15

That's a lot of power with not enough tire. plus, it's just a showcase car. it's not made for numbers on the street. just the numbers on the spec sheet. the original Shelby was a big engine in a light frame. this is more of the same. neither were/are balanced performance cars.
